What did you guys pack for the clear liquid diet 24 hours before surgery? I have the sample pack of the nectars that I think qualify as a clear liquid since they are juice but wanted other ideas in case these are not considered a clear liquid. I fly in the day before surgery to do preop testing so I'm worried about the 7 hour flight there with only broth and water.

I had my surgery over a year ago and i could drink anything the first 24 hours it sucked so much my lips were so chapped then my coworker they went and changed it and said people can not drink like an hour after surgery I was highly upset

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for you. Prayers.

I bought some great flavoured water with zero calories at the airport. You might find different people take different things based on others experience. Like I heard to take a heating pad(I did) but I never used it, my room was so warm and lots of blankets on the bed, it was so cozy. I'd take things based on others that had it done at the same place.i went to the OCC & The hotel we stayed at had broth and Popsicles specifically for WLS patients & water in the room, so we didn't need anything. We all went shopping the day after and the 2days post op, everyone felt good.

I didn't even think that the hotel will most likely have broth. I got a packing list from my doctor so I'm going to stick to that. I just got concerned about the clear liquid diet because I don't want to pack anymore than what I'm taking. I'll check with my doctor to make sure the hotel provides broth. Thank you!

Thank you!! I'm still 3 weeks out but trying to get prepared.

I flew the day of surgery... 6 hour flight with no water or anything. Super dehydrated when I got there, but it was do-able. On the flight home I was on clear liquids. Water, hot tea, apple juice, etc.

I only drank broth, gatorade, flavored waters (using crystal light or mio drops) and hot tea...oh and s/f jello.

post op (in hospital) I didn't really eat anything as I was done with broth at that point (I had to do two days) and jello is gross. lol

Good luck to you!!!
